Hey everyone recently just bought a bmw 120d about 2 months ago. Had the clutch replaced as it needed doing and Just a few days ago I have had the Turbo go on me! I’ve had a quote from the garage for about £1200. After just having the clutch done I did not expect to have to fork out another £1200 this soon. Is this something I could do myself as I don’t mind doing so. Has anyone done it? If so any guidence would be great! Thanks for any help in advance

    Morning Scott

    Welcome to the Forum

    Ouch, not a good start to BMW ownership

    Firstly are you certain it is the turbo? Boost pressure can be affected by several things. Who diagnosed the Turbo? I would get the codes read by some one with a BMW Specific diagnostic suite. Maybe a member near you or a BMW specialist near you.You could even buy one yourself and not horrendously expensive around £150 tops there are many out there.

    As for DIY a Turbo replacement (if that is what it is) is well within a reasonable Home mechanics capability. Turbo's are available these days at sensible prices £200 upwards just remember to factor in Fluids and Gaskets that may not be with the cheaper options.

    Take a look at www.newtis.info This is a BMW Technical Information site that BMW Dealers use for service/replacement and repair Then to ensure you have the correct parts use www.realoem.com This is a BMW online Parts Site put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model then search for the part.

    Good Luck
